Most people are familiar with the triceps muscle stretch, however many people won't perform any stretch for the biceps muscle.
The biceps muscle is one of the most torn muscles within the gym environment, as its often overused and put beyond its strength capabilities.
Just like the muscles of the chest, some simple biceps curl actions with your arms, with either no weights or very light weights, will help blood flow to this area. Once warmed the muscles will be less likely to tear.
If performing an upper body workout, especially with weights for the biceps, repeat these stretches when you get a chance.
